How to Make Good Games With The Percentager Mod [MUST READ!]
[PLEASE READ!!]
- 48.88% and 80% means that the bar NEEDS to be at the TOP
- 10% means that the bar NEEDS to be at the BOTTOM
- The percentages are shown at the bottom on the red, green and blue

This shows you ALL the topic vs genre weightings and the percentages in 100%, 80% and 0%, which I have "translated" into percentager because arrow up/down = +1/-1 percent!

Oh man this is helpful, thank you!

Edit: When you say 48.8% means at the top, I don't understand. Wouldn't that be halfway?

You actually need to go in and re-edit this. There's a bunch of 0%s too.
Hey, you have for the second level of adventure, Phase 2 Dialogues : 41.11% - Level Design : 10% - AI : 10% you have 2 10%s

Edit: Never mind everything I just said, I think I get it.

The "Phase 2 Dialogues : 41.11% - Level Design : 10% - AI : 10%" Thanks for notcing that. I mis-read it xD. Don't realise errors 100% of the time :)

Following it entirely, without a single percent off it doesnt bring the reviews you claim. Me just randomly pulling the slides has worked better.

Fine tune it. I forgot what percentages I was using, but using this will get you money, and then you move the sliders a bit for what's needed vs what's lesser needed.

I don't see why. I usually do get that, maybe you aren't using good combinations? That's all I can suggest!

This doesn't include multi genre games though? :(

My own method is slightly diffrent. I used to use the keyboard to adjust by 1%'s for everything.
+++ would be top of the box, ++ would be 25 clicks below the top of the box. ~/- would be middle of the box (50 either side) and -- would be 25 clicks above the bottom of the box.

Thus a +++, ++, ~ game would be Top of the +++, Top of the ++ and 25 down arrow clicks, and top of the ~ with 50 down arrow clicks. It remains true with or without the mod.

Hey man just wanted to say, I tried this method and got reveiws of 7, 6 ,6, 7 for my very first game, which to me isn't that bad for the first game.

With https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=492286579, 48.88 = 55% and 41.11% = 44% (80% and 10% is self-explanatory).
